Ahh no, although I'm using a Optiplex 990 for the daily compute. She's an
ASROCK mobo with some kind of i5 installed in it.  Seems weird to supply
extra 12v to the mobo to supply a video card. A lot of the cards require a
seperate 12v from the supply directly. For which the adapters are around out
there.

This thing has a 6pin molex on the mobo, will be the extra 12v for the CPU I
expect given its location. But while I've come across 2 and 4 pin variants
before I've not seen this 6..
